Remote Code Execution due to Full Controled File Write in mlflow

Critical severity GitHub Reviewed Published Nov 16, 2023 to the GitHub Advisory Database • Updated Aug 8, 2024

Package

pip mlflow (pip)

Affected versions

<= 2.8.1

Patched versions

2.9.2

Description

The mlflow web server includes tools for tracking experiments, packaging code into reproducible runs, and sharing and deploying models. As this vulnerability allows to write / overwrite any file on the file system, it gives a lot of ways to archive code execution (like overwriting /home/<user>/.bashrc). A malicious user could use this issue to get command execution on the vulnerable machine and get access to data & models information.

CVSS v3 base metrics

Attack vector: More severe the more the remote (logically and physically) an attacker can be in order to exploit the vulnerability.
Attack complexity: More severe for the least complex attacks.
Privileges required: More severe if no privileges are required.
User interaction: More severe when no user interaction is required.
Scope: More severe when a scope change occurs, e.g. one vulnerable component impacts resources in components beyond its security scope.
Confidentiality: More severe when loss of data confidentiality is highest, measuring the level of data access available to an unauthorized user.
Integrity: More severe when loss of data integrity is the highest, measuring the consequence of data modification possible by an unauthorized user.
Availability: More severe when the loss of impacted component availability is highest.
